This is our go-to Mexican restaurant. Quickly greeted and seated. Service staff is attentive. Our order came to table within 10 minutes and was piping hot. Food is delicious. Ordered the Vallarta Fajitas - it ends up being 3 meals!

Our first time eating here. Stopped around 5 pm on a Saturday. We were seated immediately with no wait, even though the small parking lot was already full. Very friendly service.
Salsa was excellent! No big chunks of onion, but lots of fresh cilantro. I would come back just for the salsa!
Ordered a pitcher of margaritas, which was absolutely horrible. Tasted like medicine/cough syrup/dirty dishwater. However, that was my own fault for not specifying top shelf tequila. (All Mexican restaurants seem to be the same that way with their cheap margaritas.)
Our meal was served quickly. I had the Floutas Verdes which were fantastic! The salsa verde on them was tangy and delicious, and the floutas were very generously filled with chicken.
Husband ordered the chimichanga meal, which tasted good. However, the chimichanga itself was tiny, not a huge over-stuffed monstrosity like most restaurants serve. He said it tasted very good though.
We will definitely eat here again! Very good food, and atmosphere.
No funky smell like some other Mexican restaurants. Oh, and the water we were served before our meal was GOOD water!

From the time I walked in the doors of this fine restaurant, until the moment I left
I felt welcomed and valued.
The staff were super friendly and quite patient with my indecisiveness.
Food was surprisingly delicious and fresh ingredients were a huge plus.
The desert was pretty good as well. I will happily reoder again in the future.

Parking: Parking was plenty and right near the door.

Kid-friendliness: They had multiple quality choices for kids meals.

Wheelchair accessibility: Easily wheelchair accessible.

I don't live in town, so the last time I had an opportunity to eat here, it was called Mi Pueblo Real. The food was delicious. I had a veggie quesadilla that was so delicious, I think about it often. What happened?!? This food was horrible. My entire party tasted my cheese enchilada and the consensus was that they mistook marinara for enchilada sauce. It felt like eating the saddest mozz stick ever made. My beef burrito was no better. The beef itself was not seasoned, at all. It was just large chunks of sad flavorless ground beef. My girlfriend's burrito was identical. Her taco was soggy and topped with mozz cheese. Also unseasoned. I was so confused that I had accidentally walked into a poorly executed Italian/Mexican fusion restaurant. My family's fajitas looked good, but everything else made Taco Bell look like fine dining. Never again.
